Thrombosis is the endpoint of atherosclerosis and inflammation is linked to the development of atherosclerosis. This study suggests that CD40-CD40L interactions may be one molecular mechanism linking the inflammation and the thrombosis associated with atherosclerosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
